AN ABBREVIATED LIFE.

I was born January 6, 1950, in San Gabriel, California, to Ernest Jennings and Betty Jean Ford.

In my fifty-eight years here I've been a son, a brother, a cowhand, a rhythm guitarist, a dishwasher, a father, a teacher, a student, an actor, a singer, a con artist, a martial artist, a songwriter, an editor, a husband, a liar and a writer.

It's fair to say that I was more apt -more successful, perhaps- in some areas than others. I was definitely luckier...there's no other explanation.

I've been blessed with roles in fifteen feature films, and as many television movies and series. At fifty-eight, I'm finishing my second book, and touring to support the release of my first. I have a wife I pray never realizes how much better she could have done, and children I pray never forget their promise to let us live with them when they're grown.

Life is good.
